Default Cub Cadet 70 key
I picked up a CC 70 today.The key is broken so i need to get another one. My question is, if i buy a original key off Ebay, do i want one just for a 70? Or, will any narrow frame key work?

Thank you

I got the spare keys of all the IH tractors we used to own and I found the old spare to my 1200 that has the IH on it! That's the key in my 1211 now.

The key I have for my cub is a artic cat 370z key. It has a nice rubber grip and isn't so hard on your hands. Just a helper

If that's the case then your tractor doesn't have the original ignition switch in it.

This has always surprised me. Every key the same. My first thought is why even have a key, but I suppose it allows you to keep the kids off the tractor when you don't want them playing with it!

Most all the old tractor companies and equipment companies did the same thing. IH had their own, so did Deere, Case, AC, CAT, and so on. Never changed. The keys did, but the code didn't. You can still have one key for all your equipment. Like when Case and IH merged, they went to a key and stayed with it. I'm not sure if the old and new Magnums still use the same key, they might have changed code.

It's and original switch they just interchange as that if you have enough keyed equipment chances are you have a key that will fit. It's very generic

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
